Registration is now open (as of Wednesday, April 22, 2026 at 12 PM Central). The fastest way to register — and the only way to lock in the Early Bird rate — is online through the MAS Engagifii Member Portal at mas.engagifii.com.

You may also register by emailing a completed form to annualconvention@massup.org, faxing to 601.353.2749, or mailing to MAS Office, 7 Riverbend Place, Flowood, MS 39232.

Important: Registrations submitted by email, fax, or mail receive the Regular rate — not Early Bird. Early Bird is portal-only.

You don't have to be a MAS member to use the portal. Here are your two options:

1. Check your inbox and spam folder for a workspace invite from identify_donotreply@engagifi.com or Yamaiky Gamez via sendgrid.net. Click Create Profile, set a password, confirm it, and click Sign Up. Your username is the email address the invite was sent to.
2. Can't find an invite? Email annualconvention@massup.org — we'll resend your workspace invite link right away so you can register today.

Step-by-step instructions are in our First-Time Login Guide (PDF).

Hotel block details are delivered in your registration confirmation email. Once you complete registration through the MAS Member Portal, you'll receive an email with the full list of MAS block properties, direct booking links, and the MAS group code. If you register by email, fax, or mail, MAS staff will email the hotel block details once your registration is processed.

Book early. Once the hotel block cut-off date passes, unbooked rooms are released back to general inventory and group rates are no longer guaranteed.

As of 2026, our address is 7 Riverbend Place, Flowood, MS 39232. Our previous Jackson address (793 N. President Street) is no longer active. Please use the Flowood address for all mailed registration forms, payment checks, and correspondence.

The Early Bird rate is reserved for online registrations completed through the MAS Engagifii Member Portal by May 5, 2026. Online registration reduces processing time for our team and gets your confirmation and hotel block details to you instantly.

All registrations submitted by email, fax, or mail will be processed at the Regular rate through May 20, 2026 — regardless of the date submitted.

Yes or checks may be mailed to MAS at 7 Riverbend Place, Flowood, MS 39232. Payment must be received before the convention begins.

County cancellations are tiered. All must be submitted in writing to annualconvention@massup.org:

• Through May 5, 2026: 0% — no fee
• May 6 – May 20, 2026: 50% of original registration
• After May 20, 2026 or No-Show: 100% of original registration

A no-show is any registrant who does not check in at the MAS registration desk to receive their badge.

Vendor cancellations follow a different policy from county registrations. Written cancellations received by May 5, 2026 are refunded minus a $150 service charge. No refunds are issued after May 5. Eligible refunds are processed after the convention concludes.

• Registration for two (2) complimentary attendees
• One 10'W × 10'D booth with 8' back drapes and 3' side dividers
• One booth sign with your company name and booth number
• One 6' skirted display table, two chairs, one wastebasket

Electrical is not included — all power must be ordered through CDS after MAS confirms your booth assignment.

Bulk space is for companies displaying large equipment, vehicles, or oversized items that won't fit in a standard 10×10 booth.

• Cost: $1.65 per sq. ft.
• Minimum: 300 sq. ft. (10' × 30' = $495)

• Furnishings not included — order through CDS

You must also purchase a standard booth (or qualifying sponsorship) to be eligible for bulk space.

After MAS assigns your booth space. CDS (Convention & Display Services) is MAS's official exposition services contractor — they handle electrical, extra furniture, carpet, upgraded draping, material handling, freight, and specialty signage. Once MAS confirms your booth assignment, CDS will send you the Exhibitor Service Kit with order forms and deadlines. Contact brooke@cds1958.com with questions.

If you have bulk space, you must drive in on Sunday, June 14. Move-in times are pre-scheduled with CDS — you cannot just show up. All large items must be in place before Monday's general setup begins.

Brooke Fuller at CDS (brooke@cds1958.com) will contact you to schedule your Sunday move-in time after MAS confirms your booth and bulk space.

All shipping must be coordinated through CDS. The convention center does not accept direct shipments. Contact brooke@cds1958.com for shipping instructions and deadlines. All shipments must arrive freight prepaid — collect shipments will be refused.

Yes — name badges are required in all meeting and exhibit areas beyond the security checkpoints. Pick up your badge at the Vendor Registration Desk in the West Lobby beginning Monday, June 15 at 10:00 AM. Badges cannot be swapped. Lost badges require a $100 reprint fee.
